Change is powerful! I love the guidance of my naturopath Dr Renee Purdy, and there are so many wonderful naturopaths in this city!

“Naturopathic medicine completely transformed my life. When I began seeing Dr. Renée Purdy, ND, in 2017, I had just lost my father to kidney cancer and my mother had been recently diagnosed with macular degeneration. I'm an entrepreneur and a very high energy person, but I was burnt out. When I began my journey with Dr. Purdy, ND, she really helped me understand my health at a level that I had never understood before, by analyzing my blood work and helping me adjust my diet and relationship with food. Six months later, I began feeling better than I had in many years. The process of adjusting my diet also reignited my passion for cooking, so much so that we launched a community cooking club together, where we’d bring people together to cook healthy meals and socialize. Fast-forward a few years later in 2020, I carry on this legacy with my new cooking club Atlantic Canada Cooks, where I continue to bring people together to bond over the power of nutritious foods from around the globe. Working with a naturopathic doctor changed my life and I truly didn’t realize how good I could feel until I embarked
on this journey with Dr. Purdy, ND.” – Michelle, naturopathic patient. Visit cand.ca to see how an ND can make a positive change in your life!

Dear Patients; past, present and future,

I am here to make a big announcement.

Life is change, life is opportunity, life is challenging and life is a journey.

It's time to let you know, that I am taking a break from practice. It has been wonderful serving, and I have been blessed with many many experiences, and while it is hard to walk away, because the years spent honing the skills and the rewards from helping others brings me such joy, it has become even harder to stay.

So that being said, I'd like to share that sometimes life pulls you in different and unexpected directions. Such is my case, and I have made the decision to prioritize other aspects of life that need my attention. In all honesty, it is a brutiful (beautiful and brutal) turn of events, and I will take it as a blessing. No one is injured, no one is hurt, so while this hasn't been forced upon me, the signs are there, I need to get quiet, reflect, and spend time doing other tasks.

Leaving the practice, whether short term or longer term, the practice will remain close to me. Chiropractic is the mindset that health is within us, it has inspired me well beyond the topic of adjustments. It has been my state of mind long before I started school, and it will continue to be on my mind during the break and forever more.

I hope you have a wonderful summer and stay in touch!

I am always here.

Lovingly,

Dr. Cheryl DC

A couple of evening appointments still available and Friday morning. Just letting you know that our fam is hanging close to home for this break. So I have decided to keep a couple of shifts open this week for those who would like it.

Enjoy your March break!

Wishing you all the best as you ring in the New Year. That you may see how blessed you are to be who you are. That you may honour all that you have become, even though there is more to discover and grow. That you may see the divine within.

With all my heart,

Sometimes we need to clear the road for a healthier body, simply by having a healthier belief. Creating new beliefs has been a chief focus of mine this past year. It is simply the quickest way for your body to respond positively.

Don’t believe me, but really want to understand more? Start seeing the inconsistencies in life, where some struggle but others don’t. And ask yourself, why?

Love yourself a little more with each new belief and watch your life and body change!

A special thank you to all of my patients. I am blessed and honoured with the gift of your presence at every visit. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Nothing wrong with leaving something until it becomes a priority. Getting a jump start on your new year is always a good too!

All the best,

Not to get your hopes up and then let them down, but the reality isn’t always that an adjustment is the quick fix thy we do know and love when we talk about the best adjustments on the planet!

This jump kind of made me laugh, kind of made me worry, lol. In the end, all was well!

Life is a journey, health is a journey, sometimes we are playing chess with all the pieces and tools. At the end of the day, it’s sometimes a matter of taking steps forward and experiencing what is out there, and really giving something a chance to create change within our bodies.

Lots of love in your journey in health!

It bears repeating, but the cracks aren’t necessary, they are what many patients want and choose, but we all have different needs. It is entirely possible to choose your journey.

Sending you lots of love on your journey in health!

I will never not want my kids to be cared for. I love when kids are as excited as I am for their checks, but the truth is, they aren’t always in the mood for it. I am happy that even though they aren’t always into it, they do know what it is and many of the ways it can benefit them. I let them choose when they want to receive, even though I offer more than they accept. I’m (mostly) ok with that, haha! It is their journey and their body after all!

Have a great day!

I’m always going to talk about the power of an adjustment. Movement is so important!

I’m also always going to talk about the power of a healthcare team. Exploring how professions have a collaborative effect is a powerful way to heal. 🥰

There is something special about setting something and letting it be. Plus, there wouldn’t be an entire procession dedicated to mastering this skill if it weren’t so beneficial, right?

Collaboration between professions is really an amazing way to help people. So giving the best adjustment is our goal.

All the best!

Change can be quick. Some change requires long term commitment. What do I love more than an adjustment? Respecting someone’s body and boundaries. It’s why I speak so much to the gentle ways we can achieve an adjustment.

Happy Friday y’all!

Dr Cheryl

Let me be clear, kids don’t need rough, they need specific, purposeful, directed release or stimulus. Gentle is the way we accomplish this!

How do we accomplish this? With a wiggle, a swipe and moving the body around intentionally.

I hope this eases your mind to what happens after you consent to care for your kids. 🥰

Check for tight movement looking one way or the other, check forward flexion, or just ask. Instead of asking, ‘does anything hurt?’ ask, ‘does anything feel tight in your body?’

Bodies just feel better with symmetry and alignment, right?

With Care,

Empowering kids every day. It’s fantastic to see them thrive with adjustments. Simple, quick, easy and effective.

Happy Monday everyone!

Balance is important! Balance in the body and symmetry is an important tool we have to see that the body is functioning well. If you see something that isn’t quite looking balanced, it is useful to see if tension in the spine is responsible. That tension might not translate to pain, it might translate to weaknesses in the body. Weakness leads to other undesirable things. 🙃

Taking care of kids is so fun!
